ReWriteing the file.

Opening a file...for writing!
The Compact Disk File System or CDFS is a format used for storing information on CD's. It uses a laser to burn data into the disk for later viewing.
There are several types of software that can aid file data recovery on a hard disk. For example, webpages such as 'recover my files' have this type of software for download.
The simplest way to recover a lost disk is first to determine if the disk can be recovered from the hard drive or the recycle/trash file. If this is not possible, data recovery programs can be purchased to recover the data.

For example: if you want to store data on a disk, it will be a file, not an array.
The configuration of a disk typically refers to the way in which the disk is set up for data storage and retrieval. This can include the file system used, partitioning schemes, RAID configurations, and other settings that affect how data is organized and accessed on the disk.
Chkdsk (Check Disk) is a utility in Windows that is used to check the integrity of the file system and file system errors on a disk. It helps to diagnose and repair disk-related problems to ensure the system runs smoothly and to prevent data loss due to disk errors.
All of the "old data" that has not been overwritten can be recovered in Windows and MS-Dos. When a file is deleted in Windows / MS-Dos the first character of the file name is changed to a question mark. This releases the allocated disk space of the deleted file to the free disk space. The data itself is not touched until a program overwrites the data in that allocated space. This is not true of most other operating systems.
Formatting prepares the file system - it writes certain data structures to the disk, which are required to maintain the file system.
